Detecting a selection change other than by the RowClick ItemCommand

[Tim]

Hi

I have a multi-select RadGrid.

I have supplied and ItemCommand handler in my server side code,
and it gets triggered when I click on a row.

I get the RowClick item command

However if I have focus on the grid and hold the shift key down
and then I hit the down or up arrows the Selection column
changes, but I don't get a server side ItemCommand triggered.

Is there some other event handler I need to hook into to handle
the shift key mechanism for multi-selecting?

TIA

Hi Tim,

I am copying my reply from the other forum thread that you have opened on this matter as well. If you have further enquries on the matter, please post there, so that we avoid duplicate posts. Thanks for your understanding.

Multiselection using the Shift key is a client-side feature of the grid. It does no cause a postback and is used only for client selection. That is why it does not fire the ItemCommand event.
Handling such action on the server would require customizations through client script. You could use the RowSelected client event to capture the selections on the fireCommand() method to fire a custom command on the server and then handle it accordingly in the ItemCommand server event handler of the grid.
